Adobe Messenger Bag
Has anyone here tried the Adobe Messenger Bag? Looks great, but I'm concerned that it's a bit of a hassle to extract a laptop from it while transiting security, among other things.

I'm a "creative professional" and I think it looks huge and fugly. The order link didn't work for me. I was trying to find out how much it costs because if it wasn't free, I wouldn't want to pay to carry around Adobe's logo.

It looks absurdly overdesigned to me, and it doesn't do anything my <$100 Lands' End attache won't do. Also, I can't imagine anyone stopping in the rain to deploy that stupid "rain hood."
As a protective sleeve for my Dell laptop right now I'm using a freebie slim-design "brief bag" that Book-of-the-Month Club sent me. Fits like a glove, shoves easily inside the Lands' End bag, and cost $0.

The one I want is for a 15.4" MBP and I'm thinking that with Domke inserts I'd be able to use it as a combined laptop/camera bag. Something I really really do need.

I want one of these. I've only seen it's big borther in real life and it is HUGE! Built for a 17" laptop with stacks of room.

At my stage in life, a subdued leather bag/briefcase/satchel is more in line with the image I'm expected to project

The rain hood looks like an interesting idea.
Ive been known to borrow a blanket off the plane when I knew I would be walking through a parking lot in the rain.

Im a big fan of SF Bags (aka Waterfield Designs). They are fantastic. Plus, they dont make software that hangs everytime I start it while it is checking for updates and gawd knows what in the background - thus making me despise them.
